Check with your server hardware vendor before upgrading. I had problems with Dell servers, you need to run a utility before installing SP2. You may also want to check the software compatibility with any applications you're running on the server and get the latest patches.

Hello -
Finally found the thread that may be helpful to me.....
We are running Exchange Server 2003 SP1 on Server 2003. I am considering upgrading to Server 2003 SP1. (Try searching Google with those two together...)
Has anyone ran into any problems upgrading the OS?
My ultimate goal is to eliminate the mailboxes backup from Veritas (16 hours!) and just backup the stores. I will then have a standby server I can dump the store files to if I need to restore a mailbox or message. (I hope)
Thanks in advance

Windows Server upgrade, no problems.
SP2 problems - if running MSDE on same server yes. Otherwise a couple of DLL clashes with some stuff, but at each prompt copy the relevant DLL then overwrite it.
Brick level backup elimination? Easy. Don't bother with standby server, buy a copy of Aelita Recovery Manager. Sorts out dead stores AND pulls brick level from Backup Exec store level backups. Job done.

Thanks for the info. We had previously looked into the Aelita Recovery Manager from Quest, but at US $8.00 per mailbox, decided it was cost prohibitive.
The proposed backup of store files and copying to secondary server still works though, right?
